Off-Grid Solar & Wind Power System Design Service

Let us help you decide what size energy system you need with our unique system design service. You simply tell us how much power you require and give us details of the site location and in return we'll custom design a solar or wind energy system to your exact requirements.

Please remember that it is very often the efficiency of the appliances to be run which determine the viability of many systems. Highly efficient appliances make a huge difference to the cost of any stand-alone energy system and DC devices are normally cheaper to power than AC devices. [See: optimising the use of energy ].

For applications with multiple devices or appliances we require a completed 'power estimator' form in order to be able to calculate a solution for you. The form helps to calculate average daily watt hours required for the mid-summer and mid-winter months. You can download a copy of the power estimator form below.

When it's completed, send a copy to our system design team who use a global meteorological database to establish the site's average monthly solar & wind resources. We can then estimate output figures for various sizes and types of solar panel & wind turbine, comparing it with your planned loads to establish the correct size of system to power your particular application.

Please take the time to review the information and applications sections of this website before contacting our design team, as these sections cover many of the issues that need to be considered in the design of the power system.


We do not charge design fees for the first hour of a system designer’s time. If required, extra design time can be negotiated.

* Please note: This service is offered totally at the discretion of the EDC, and if we consider a project not to be viable, we reserve the right to retract the offer of free system design. Due to local site and weather variations, we are unable to guarantee the specific power output of any of the systems we design.
